All prices for farming [[goods]] are dynamic and | All prices for farming [[goods]] are dynamic and are calculated '''globally''' across all [[How-to-join|servers]]. That means the price for iron bars on server 1 is the same as on server 2. | ||

The current prices of legal goods can be checked via the Market-App on the [[smartphone]] or via the [[User panel|User-Panel]]. Prices of illegal goods can only be seen if the Black-Market-App is installed. | |||
==Market events== | |||
On top of the regular supply-and-demand pricing, '''random market events''' can occur. A market event temporarily raises the selling price of a specific group of goods, giving you a window to cash in if you have the right items in stock or can [[Producer|produce]] and [[Processor|process]] them fast enough. | |||
When an event starts, every player receives a '''Market Event''' notification describing what is in demand. A second notification is sent once the event ends and prices return to normal. | |||
===How it works=== | |||
*Events trigger at random and become more likely while the server is well populated. | |||
*Only a few events run at the same time, and each one lasts a limited amount of time before prices settle back down. | |||
*While an event is active, the affected goods show a '''boosted''' price in the Market-App. The tooltip tells you exactly how much the price went up and how many minutes the event will still last. | |||
*Events are calculated globally, so the boost applies on every server at the same time. | |||
